So many little glitches that add up >> from a convoluted historically inaccurate mention of a pen/fountain pen, to careless Americanisms inserted (like “chaise lounge”.

Also, the growing feeling that the author is making it up as she goes along (natural for a long series format, but contrary to her claims about knowing how everything will play out in her sifferent arcs)…

I have arrived at this point with a deep sense of doom; is it all going downhill from now?? Is it going downhill already??

Anytime a “Golden Age” is mentioned, one knows it will spoil in no-time; and some devices being used to push characters together/apart are too contrived even for a farcical “comedy” like this one.
